I had to talk to my mom but then I did it. As soon as I got to the campus I could feel it. It was a different vibe than places like Florida State. The team, atmosphere, and all gave me a different feeling plus the academics are solid. I felt like it was the best fit for me.” Offers: Florida State, Indiana, North Carolina, South CarolinaSouth Florida, Ball State Copyright © Scout.com and DeaconSports.com
